Berthil

@Rudivdk Thank you!

The tram/streetcar diorama is coming along well. Managed to automate the tram with a Powered Up color sensor, it stops/reverses at the red tiles. Also happy it runs well through my tram depot. Red tiles seem to work best, after that white and green tiles. Link to FB as I only want to really publish when the diorama is finished. https://www.facebook.com/groups/852993074715528/permalink/3518038084877667/

Looks good so far, good luck with your progress. Here is my similar version which has kept all the original elements like the removable floor mats etc. Free instructions so you can have a look. https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-34463/Berthil/central-perk-big-bang-theory-modular/

Thank you all! I know such a model is not to everyones taste so thanks for all the positive comments.

Nice! Never give up :) Will look at the building more carefully next time I'm in Leiden, my son lives above Annie's :)

I designed this modular as a modern home inspired by the Rietveld Schröder House in Utrecht (so it doesn't want to be a copy). The Rietveld Schröder House was designed by Gerrit Rietveld, known for his Red and Blue chair (also in the house) and was build in 1924! I tried to keep as many exterior and interior details as possible but fit them in a 32x32 modular (the original house was much bigger). This means the details are there but not necessarily in the original location. It was a challenge to create it in such a way that it can be taken apart as a Modular. The walls with 1x1 plates are inspired by F-Town by Aukbricks.

Thanks for the picture, all clear now. On the earlier photos it seemed as if it were just 1x2 tiles but now it i s visible there is a plate behind it, very nice gapless solution! Now please publish (free) instructions of you creations like I do :)

Nice design! Clean with enough inspiring and novel details. Thanks for sharing the technique behind it. Unfortunately the design behind the roof is missing, it seems some of it is held together by a digital force? Especially the tiles on the edge.

Besides mockup suspension bits, the rusty bits are there to prevent pedestrians (Minifigs) get caught under the tram wheels. Safety attitude already in 1903!

Succeeded in adding a 88007 Boost distance and color sensor to the Tram. Here digitally but I've already build it in the actual Tram. Coming days I'll be testing if I can let the Tram drive autonomous with Tram Depot. Building instruction for the tram I have already finished and will publish again for free soon. Will keep you posted on progress...

@grohl Whenever I see the title of your topic in feeds I'm getting thristy for my favourite beer as I grew up next to the brewery :) Sorry for the OT (although it is about the title of your topic).

Thanks! The modulars and tram station I have created out of my imagination but I use Google images to look fo buildings the same theme and then mix up several images into a design. For instance, this tram depot in The Hague Netherlands I used as inspiration :)

I can confirm this, the whole tree is actually floating above the dark green plates with enough room under it to put tiles there. So that's what I did, I have put tiles under tree so the whole tree does not 'hover' above the plates anymore. Overall this was a challenging build as the (dark) brown and dark blue colors were very hard to see in the paper building instruction, especially at night. It would have been much better if these colors would have had a white line around them as with black. Also planning on integrating it in my City as closed corner modular.

Thanks. Yes, it uses standard Powered Up. I just bought a PU color sensor, together with the Tram Depot I will try to automate the full Tram/Streetcar route including different stops including the Tram Depot with the use of the six colors.

Thank you all. The real build is progressing well without issues, all moving parts move as planned including the doors swiveling outwards to make room for the Tram/Streetcar. Indeed they turn with turntables but not all turn points.

Most famous flag ship store at Leicester Square in Londen and here my LEGO Ideas entry of it. https://ideas.lego.com/projects/e015f9c8-3faf-4308-b8ed-b5e09c6ebcef

Same principle from 2018 GBC

@dunes Excellent! I might rebuild my exit to your version :)

Thanks. The doors are fully functional and can be opened and closed so both positions. When the parts arrive from LEGO B&P I start building and adjust the design where necessary and while building I will create the free building instruction. More pictures and a video of all functions will follow when the real build is done.

@dunes Looks good, great work! The use of the telescopes on the pickup belt is a great idea!

Excellent, great use of cheese slopes and SNOT in a lot of places! Would like to see the roof design in more detail, very well done.

I've designed a Tram Depot to go with the Amsterdam Tram. For now digital so next step is ordering bricks and build for real.

It's not about axle length but about a continues crank. I had almost no problems with it but the middle lift relies on gravity to fall back along axles that have no attachment on top of the axles so it sometimes refuses to fall back. Only on a few occasions in 7 event days.

It has run without problems or 7 days straight during LEGO World this year. The axles cannot go anywhere, even when 1/2 stud in.
